PLANTS AND ANIMALS

 

The buzzing of bees is a lovely sound these days. So is the 

chirping of these Euarasian blackbirds.

I finally identified some of the mystery plants. This is flax, the next 

is milk thistle and the large plants, now chin high, are mustard.

And another first in the gardens-pests in the form 

of cabbage moth caterpillars eating the mustard.

Frankie likes to stretch out in the morning sun and 

sunbathe, for all the world like a January tourist 

at Miami Beach. Then it is breakfast time.
